As many as seven suitors are expected to attend an Aug. 16 auction for Nick Denton’s digital media outfit.

The auction will kick off a “stalking horse” bid of $90 million from Ziff Davis, which agreed to assume some of Gawker’s liabilities but not the $140 million invasion-of-privacy judgment for former pro wrestler Hulk Hogan.

Univision, which has been circling Gawker for months, is expected to give Ziff Davis a run for its money, according to sources close to the auction.

The Spanish-language media giant already owns stakes in sites such as The Onion and The Root and is aiming to attract a bigger millennial audience.
